Two EAB pastors have Covid

 Two EAB/ACEV pastors - a pastor and assistant pastor - have gone down ill with Covid-19. However they have asked not to be named. I am not sure why the secrecy but I will respect their request and not name them. Both the pastors are not in hospital but are medicated by doctors at home. The senior pastor has lost 25% of his lung capacity and the assistant pastor is a bit worse. Please pray for these our pastors.

Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has said "there is no way he will be vaccinated against the new coronavirus". He said that vaccinations "might turn recipients into crocodiles"! He has also just added another attack on lockdowns saying "It's no good staying at home crying. It won't get you anywhere". It is not surprising that Brazil has the second highest death toll from Covid-19 in the world. Please pray for Brazil.

Our projects team is at Barra de Oitis to define the location of 2 more Toilet/Shower units. One of the team is Marah Danielle who is an experienced social worker. We take these things very seriously because we can't build toilets for everyone so we have to carefully select the most desperately needy of the poor, and we need to feel sure that the people benefitted will truly value what they are going to receive. Please pray for God's guidance in this and that God will keep our team safe and well.
